The objects of this invention are to provide I a convenient and completecover for closet seats which will be automatically removed by.

- the flushing.

Second, to provide such a cover adapted to be made of crepe tissuepaper.

Third, to provide such an improved cover that may be medicated.

Objects pertaining to details will appear from the description tofollow. The invention is defined and pointed out in the claims. Astructure which is a preferred embodiment is illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which:

Figs. 10 and 11 show a step of the folding from Fig. 5.

Figs. 12 and 13 show the complete longitudinal fold.

Fig. 14 is a perspective view of my improved cover as finally foldedwith thecorner turned up to facilitate use.

The parts will be identified by their numerals of reference which arethe same in all theviews.

1 is the closet bowl and 2 is the seat shown in conventional form. 3 ismy improved sanitary cover which comprises a rectangle preferably ofcrepe tissue paper which is folded upon itself forming treble thicknessat 4.

While thus folded, as seen in Fig. 5, I make an incisionto form a flap5, which when unfolded (see Fig. 7) projects somewhat like a large shoetongue. In forming this I cut completely across the fold 4. I then gluethe fold 4 at 6 on each side with little dabs of suitable adhesive. Itwill thus be seen that thetongue 5 may be extended as indicated in Fig.7. The

Jpart toward the front and at each side will be treble thickness. I foldthe blank as it appears in Fig. 5, on itself, as seen in Figs.

10 and 11. and give the same a further fold as seen in Figs. 12 and 13,and then fold crosswise, turning up a corner, as seen in perspective inFig. 14. It will be seen from this 6 description that by grasping theupturned corner the seat cover will spread out automatically to coverthe seat. The flap 5 will drop down into the water in the bowl, therebycompletely covering the front part of the seat.

I preferably medicate the paper of this cover, and as it is made ofcrepe paper itis very absorbent and the slightest moisture causes it toremain inplace and the paper being treated with antiseptic aflords'complete protection. The antiseptic may be carbolic acid, formaldehyde,listerine or any other effective antise tic.

IVhen the closet is ushed the suction of the the center thereof andacross the treble thick- "t A 1,sss,7s7 I In witness hand.
